Any bets on how many Saramuccis he will last?

Is Bari Weiss involved at all? I thought this was more her schtick.

Would you say he’s better or worse than Sinema? I honestly can’t decide

Well, now they have Trump to replace Carter?

I mean, there has been a lot of back and forth, but at this moment the better angels of American nature are definitely not winning out.

A screenshot of the Polymarket website showing a prediction market titled "Nuclear weapon detonation by...?" under the Geopolitics and Ukraine categories. The market displays three betting options with their current probabilities and "Buy Yes" or "Buy No" prices: "March 31" at 5%, "June 30" at 12%, and "Before 2027" at 22%. The total trading volume shown is over $843,000.

Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.

I’m not exactly a scholar of modern eastern history and even I knew about the John Birch/Chiang connection

It would need to get a lot better at tone and narrative coherence though. Simple short factual declarative statements work well but it still struggles with high level “writerly” tasks

I’ve used AI for workshopping simple legal language to further edit and it does well with that, but every time I’ve tried to use it for personal creative purposes (eg for a complicated extended writing task for which tone and narrative coherence is important) I run into problems line this.

NEW and BREAKING:
In a major reversal, the Trump admin is NOW trying to walk back its decision to walk away from defending the law firm executive orders in court.
DOJ just notified the four fighting law firms that it now intends to continue defending the legality of the orders in court.
A day ago, DOJ had a very different position.

And anyone stupid enough to trade on a market with so much obvious insider trading kind of deserves what they get. Caveat emptor

To be fair they should be banned from offering the market on the first place since it’s an assassination market

You can smell the cope. It smells like aqua-net, bronzer, and old man farts.
